§ 11. Mr. A. Robertsasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what consultation he has had with the interested local authorities on the proposed Yorkshire motor road.
§ Mr. WatkinsonSurveys preparatory to a draft scheme under the Special Roads Act, 1949, are being referred to appropriate county councils as the surveys are completed. Certain other local authorities will be consulted before the draft scheme is published.
§ Mr. RobertsCan the Minister give any indication when there is a likelihood of work starting on this proposed road?
§ Mr. WatkinsonI am very anxious to get on with it, but, as the hon. Gentleman knows, there is a great difficulty in Leicestershire over the line of the road. As soon as I can clear that up, I hope that the scheme will go forward.
